God’s Vision for CHBC: 3 Piers, 3 Pillars, and 3 Purposes

3 Pillars: Biblically-Modeled; Mission-Minded; and Multi-Cultural

 

“I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long; 15 but in case I am delayed, I write so that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth,” (1 Tim. 3:15).

 

The local church does not just use the Bible, they founded upon the Bible, they are committed to teaching the Bible, and they are defenders of the Bible. A Biblically-Modeled church is not just one of the models of churches which one chooses from. It is a church that is committed to the meaning and truth of God’s Word, and works to align its worship, its ministries, its discipleship, and its evangelism according to the precepts and practices in the Bible.

 

CHBC is not a perfect church. As Spurgeon has been noted as saying, “If you find the perfect church, do not join it, or it will stop being the ‘perfect church’.” CHBC strives to be a healthy church, and that begins not with what we do, but with what our convictions are. Conviction number one, or Pillar number one, is that we will be Biblically-Modeled. We will search the Scriptures and attempt to do the work of evangelism, discipleship, fellowship, ministry, and worship in a way that is true to the Word of God.

 

By His Grace and For His Glory,

Pastor Mark

God’s Vision for CHBC: 3 Piers, 3 Pillars, and 3 Purposes

3 Piers: The Centrality of the Scriptures, The Lordship of Christ, and the Glory of God

Romans 15 sets a course of Biblical church unity. In the main verse of the section, we read this, “so that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,” (Romans 15:6). The churches first purpose, and therefore an essential foundation for the church, is to glorify God. For the church to be able to do this, there must be one accord and one voice.

Biblical unity precedes unified glorification of God. For CHBC to claim that it is essential that we glorify God, means we must be committed to pursuing unity with one another. Unity is not an object or a goal, but an outcome of believers who pursue Christ together. Christians do not pursue unity like they pursue a prize. They pursue Christ who has unified all believers in Himself, and who produces a like-mindedness with Him and the Father.

The Glory of God is fundamental to the existence of the church. There are many ways in which believers individually and corporately glorify God. But God is never glorified when His church is not in one in Christ.

By His Grace and For His Glory,

Pastor Mark
